Who is Glenn Beck anyway?

[Dulcinea]

I never heard of him until he got a show on Headline News. And I'm in the demographic he claims to be popular with!

1. I have heard him in the Grand Junction area before

He is more of a sarcastic, joker then a serious radio talk personality. He goofs around and says controversial things often with a sarcastic tone to them.

I have to say that he does not bother me nearly as much as say Sean Hannity or Bill O'Really. Then again I haven't heard him that much.

2. well i`m going to be impolite

he is a big fucking asshole. he`s a smart ass radio talker who has just enough respectability to get advertisers but underneath the veiner is a racist pig. his demo are the nice people who never would say such things in public but between like minded friends they are racist classless creeps. for cnn to put this thing on the air is revolting to say the least.

4. He calls Cindy Sheehan "A big prostitute"

and than clarified and called her a pimp (paraphrasing - it was worse).
